[Partial entry listed here, see Henry Hansen's notes for complete transcription.]
Henry Hansen was married on February 27, 1893, to Henrietta P Raun, daughter of Nels P and Restina Hansen, both of Horsens, Denmark. Coming to America in 1909, they lived in Council Bluffs, Iowa, where Mr Hansen died the following year, at the age of seventy-four. When in Denmark, he had been engaged in the manufacture of wooden pumps. Their children, nine in number, were as follows: Hansena P married A S Jensen, of Omaha, Nebraska; Maria married Chris Petersen, of Council Bluffs; Henrietta (Mrs Hansen); Petres married A P Hansen, of Omaha; Metta married Hans Sorensen, of Omaha; Peter, a carpenter of the same city; Elise married C P Christiansen, of Omaha; Arnine married Loren Christiansen, also of Omaha; Christiana, who died at the age of eight years.
HISTORY: O-HIS-0056 (copy printed from the internet)CITY DIRECTORIES: He was not found at HeritageQuestOnline, Omaha, Neb, Omaha Directory Co, c1910, 1770 pgs, with last name Raun Ravn. There are 16 entries for Nels or Niels Petersen. Two entries for Nels P Petersen and none for Nels R Petersen. These may not be him.:

NOTE: He was not found listed with last name Raun or Ravn. There are 15 entires for a Nels or Niels Peterson, including the following, which may not be him:
Peterson, Nels P, painter, Henry Leyman & Sons, r [resides] 3340 S 17th.DEATH: Church death _____ Raun; 1911; Shepherd of the Hills Lutheran Church, Omaha, NE; buried 20 Jan 1911, Deaths Vol III, 1910-, pg 139; Shepherd of the Hills Lutheran Church, Omaha, NE;
_____ Raun [apparently no first name in record], born 1839, died 18 Jan 1911, buried 20 Jan 1911, South Oma [Omaha] Cemetery.
NOTE: This reference was found in a collection of notes from research done in person at Shepherd of the Hills Lutheran Church in 1982, before any information was known about the Raun parents. These notes are apparently about the death/burial of Nels Petersen Raun, which match the cemetery information below. Only a brief transcription was made of the death/burial from the Church records at the time; there may be more information in the record. Also, the church records may contain his wife's death as well.
CHURCH OTHER: O-CHO-0002BURIAL: These burials probably refer to Nels and his wife. Found at Find-a-Grave

Raum, Nels, b. unknown d. 1911 Laurel Hill Cemetery, Omaha, Douglas County, Nebraska, USA
Raum, Rosimoil, b. unknown d. 1919 Laurel Hill Cemetery, Omaha, Douglas County, Nebraska, USANOTE: Per an email dated 24 Mar 2005 from Betty Orme < bjorme2001@cox.net > regarding the above burial notations, she wrote:
Pat, This is all the info I have:
Nels was age 73 and was buried 1/20/1911 [Calculates to born about 1838]
Rosimoil was age 81 and was buried 11/19/1919 [Calculates to born about 1838]They are buried in Section 6 Row 19 Nels in grave 21 Rosimoil in grave 22 For Rosimoil, they have it listed as Mrs. R. Raum then Mrs. Rosimoil Raum in parenthesis.
I see that you are in Indiana. I can make a special effort on my next trip to that cemetery to get a photo of the stones. My latest "project" for that cemetery is to get pictures of all the stones and get them added to findagrave. During this process, I have found misspelled names and unlisted burials. The cemetery is small and walkable for searching for stones. They do not have an office on site for inquiries so it is a good thing it is small. I have gotten requests for checking the cemetery for burials from people who are certain their person(s) are buried there and not listed. Unfortunately, this cemetery has suffered vandalism several times. Some stones are broken, missing, sunken and buried, if stones were placed at all. The current caretaker is a volunteer and he has uncovered and reset several stones. Most cemeteries have sections ranging from low cost to high cost. Section 6 is in the mid range. So most likely, the burials have stones or had them at one time. If you are still interested in having me take a trip to the cemetery to get more current information on these two burials, please let me know and I will move the names to the top of my list for photos. Regards, BJ Orme.

Pat, This is all the info I have:
Nels was age 73 and was buried 1/20/1911 [Calculates to born about 1838]
Rosimoil was age 81 and was buried 11/19/1919 [Calculates to born about 1838]They are buried in Section 6 Row 19 Nels in grave 21 Rosimoil in grave 22 For Rosimoil, they have it listed as Mrs. R. Raum then Mrs. Rosimoil Raum in parenthesis.
I see that you are in Indiana. I can make a special effort on my next trip to that cemetery to get a photo of the stones. My latest "project" for that cemetery is to get pictures of all the stones and get them added to findagrave. During this process, I have found misspelled names and unlisted burials. The cemetery is small and walkable for searching for stones. They do not have an office on site for inquiries so it is a good thing it is small. I have gotten requests for checking the cemetery for burials from people who are certain their person(s) are buried there and not listed. Unfortunately, this cemetery has suffered vandalism several times. Some stones are broken, missing, sunken and buried, if stones were placed at all. The current caretaker is a volunteer and he has uncovered and reset several stones. Most cemeteries have sections ranging from low cost to high cost. Section 6 is in the mid range. So most likely, the burials have stones or had them at one time. If you are still interested in having me take a trip to the cemetery to get more current information on these two burials, please let me know and I will move the names to the top of my list for photos. Regards, BJ Orme.
